Boys and Girls in America (recorded in the Summer of 2006 with John Agnello - Sonic Youth, Alice Cooper, Dinosaur Jr., Bob Dylan, etc.) is a quintessential sonic mission statement of the band - it's a true blue classic rock n roll record in the making - delivered by one of the nation's classic bands in the making. Thematically, the album addresses the travels and travails of the relationships between the x & y's of our great nation.

#37 Seller of 2005! After releasing their highly praised debut in 2004, this NYC act didn't waste any time getting back in the studio to record a follow up. Led by Craig Finn, ex-Lifter Puller, the band combines intelligent lyrics and ideas with solid classic rock musical foundation, replete with screaming guitar solos. Separation Sunday was co-produced by Dave Gardener (Rocket From The Crypt, Drive Like Jehu & Hot Snakes) & Dean Botulonis (also helmed the knobs & whistles for the Hold Steady's first   [ read more ]

A Positive Rage documents the indomitable live spirit of The Hold Steady. It's accompanying album captures the band in their element, live and rolling around amongst a roaring crowd. It's not all about the shows though, it's also a tale of a band abandoning their day jobs and hitting the open road, grappling with success, always on the brink of collapse and praying they make it home in one piece. This one's of interest to anyone in a band, or anyone who used to be, much like that probing s   [ read more ]
